ALLEGED SLY-GEOG SELLING.
A. striking example of prohibition is reported from Dunedin. It qppe.ars that two informations for alleged sly-grog selling have been laid against two occupants of premises at Balcllltha, which were formerly Used as hotels. This- is said to be the outcome of a visit paid by a man and his wife engaged by the police, the couple having stayed at one place for a month. It is surprising that in the face of such evidence we have people who refuse to see the amount of deceit that follows in the wake of prohibition, and that the turning of men, and, even women into spies, and sneaks is preferable to having .licensed houses.
